I use a lot of titles and captions on my videos, altering the font size with the slider under effect controls or essential graphics.
However, I want to ensure text size is consistent through my clips. The slider isn't the most accurate and seems to be skewed - for instance, I had one piece of text which the slider had on at '82' so I entered that exact measurement with another piece of text and it looked much bigger. I don't know what influences this, potentially how much text I'm putting in? I can use the sliders somewhat but I need my videos to be as consistent and accurate as possible.
Either way, I'd like to know if there is a simple way to ensure text size is consistent throughout a clip or if there are any ways I can alter text size without having to use the slider option. I'm open to any helpful suggestions.
Thanks!
you have 3 controllers for text size, check that all 3 are the same across your text layers, and change the text size
from the 'Scale' in 'Transform' not the text size slider
01. Scale in 'Motion'
02. Text Slider
03. Scale in 'Transform'
I would suggest to keep 01 and 02 at 100% value and play around with 03
or whatever you feel good for you, just change 1 property

Could it be that the Scale parameter in the Motion menu varies between these clips?

Unfortunately no, I've checked and I've kept the scale (and position) the same in the all the shots used in the edit. One of the issues is I've used the cursor to resize test on the program monitor which seems to have made the skewer redundant, hoping there's a more accurate way to change font size even though I've done this.

Thanks mate, that was helpful - just gave me that bit more control I needed to adjust the font size. Thanks!
